RunRunLive 5.0 - Running Podcast

Hello my running friends. 

Today we’ve got a great show for you. I speak with Fran Tabor, who is one of those brilliantly independent thinkers – a real renaissance person. We discussed Alien first contact and lots of other stuff. I think you’ll enjoy it.

In section one I’m going to talk through some of the responses that I have been giving to the “Runners Loving Running” Facebook group – because I decided to take a new tack. Instead of ridiculing the questions for being absurd, I decided to give thoughtful answers. 

It’s ‘tack’ by the way. T A C K. Not ‘tact’. Tack is a sailing term that means the direction you are going. When you change tack in a sailboat, the captain yells ‘Coming about’ and then the mainsail boom swings around to catch the wind and knocks you overboard – setting up the meet cute or the humorous plot element in any movie involving sailboats. 

I talk about my new audio-book adventure in section two. 

Because the interview is of a normal size, and I have room.

Hello my running friends. 

Hey! 6 new episodes in a row. But I am cheating by re-tasking interviews I did for my other show.  So if you are a listener to my After the Apocalypse feed, this is the same interview and you’ve already heard it.  

I will stick a quick article into section one with my thoughts on what to drink on run and hydration in general. I follow this annoying Facebook group called ‘runners loving running’ that has these really dumb beginner running questions and I though it would be fun to answer some of them.

This a long interview. 1:30. So you have been warned. It is me being interviewed by Rodney the Stoned Genius on his podcast, named, interestingly enough “the Stoned Genius” and he was nice enough to share the audio with me.

On with the show. 

That’s what I love about podcasting. Any curious soul can find and connect with their tribe.

If like what he’s doing you can find more at the Stoned Genius Podcast.

Hello my running friends. 

Now, I see you… you’re shaking your head. 

5 in a row? What are you doing Chris? I just got around to removing the RunRunLive podcast from my old phone and here you are dropping conten t again? How can we trust you again? You’ve put us through so much.

Yup – I’m on fire folks. I even baked up some new bumpers. Besides I am using the interviews for both my podcasts so there are economies of scale.

Hello my running friends. 

Here we go – 4 episodes in a row! 

I have actually gotten messages from people commenting on their surprise and delight, well surprise anyhow, that I have been able to keep it up. 

One of my long-standing tricks is to have an interview. This is also why there are so many interview-based podcasts. It’s a great way to leverage other people’s knowledge and energy for your own benefit – I bit like a parasitic worm or a vampire.

Insert rim shot sound effect.

But – seriously folks – today we have a chat with Roger Smith. Roger is a scientist and science fiction writer. I’m doing a series of interviews of scientists and science fiction writers. 

If you also listen to my apocalypse podcast you’ll see some duplication. I’m using the same interviews over there. The difference will be podcast specific content, like the intro and outro, and here, in the RunRunLive podcast I’ll sneak in some short articles about some running topics.

Hello my running friends. 

Here we go – 3 episodes in a row!  

On today’s show we’ve got the recording of when I was on Adam Tinkoff’s show a few weeks ago.

This is a long interview…well, not really an interview, more of a conversation. It’s too long for me to edit out the slow bits, like when Adam is trying to get his AI to work. You’ll just have to muddle through.

But we do have some good conversations about community and we do reconnect with some old friends from the running community and we do some reminiscing.

Since this is so long I won’t stick anything else in here, but I’ll come back at the end with an update.

On with the show!

Hello my running friends. 

Here we go – 2 episodes in a row!  

On today’s show we talk to my nutrition coach Rachel. I’ve worked off an on with Rachel for many years. She recently earned her doctorate and she is looking for new clients. 

She gave me a good excuse to do another chat.  It all works out. You get another show and I get to catch up with Dr. Rachel. 

I’ll talk a little about my nutrition journey in section one. 

In section two I’ll talk a bit about the scary and fun world of artificial intelligence.

On with the show!

Hello my running friends. And so, the universe finds us together again. It is a fine Monday morning at the end of April bleeding into May and the fulsome fecundity of mother nature bursts free from the oppressive bonds of winter. 

The birds are singing, the rabbits are munching, the flowers show their timid faces in the new dawn of longer days and happier times. 

And here we are.

Hello and welcome to episode 5-484 of the RunRunLive Podcast. I’m calling it 5-484. That’s as good a number as any. At this point we are beyond the specificity of rational numbers and, some would say, rationality in general. 

Today I’m going to tell a story about a tree. I’ll give you the update on my current entropy challenge. Because it’s always something, isn’t it? And I have an idea to start a new segment called “Stupid running questions.”

And, maybe I’ll talk about mortality.

Hello my running friends. 

How are you doing today? It’s winter here in New England. The shortest days of the year are upon us. 

The seasons change and so do I.

Which is a lyric from a song by the Guess Who called “No Time”, from an album called “Canned Wheat” released in 1969. The Guess Who was an influential Canadian rock band from Winnipeg of all places.  

Randy Bachman from the band went on to success with Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Apologies for not getting a show out. I have ideas in my head. I just don’t have the animation to write them down and record. 

Something is better than nothing they say. But, the older I get, the more I understand the value of nothing as well.

Today I’m going to catch you up on a few races I’ve run and some other stuff as I work my way into shape for my next race, which is the Napa Valley Marathon in March. 

Now that I’ve put Boston aside as a goal race, I can add more fun stuff and travel races to my calendar. This year my wife and I will head out to Napa Valley to run the race and then hang around in wine country. 

Because, my friends, life is short. 

Memento Mori.
